Description
Introduction to Environmental Forensics helps readers unravel the complexities of environmental pollution cases. It outlines
techniques for identifying the source of a contaminant release, when the release occurred, and the extent of human exposure. Written
by leading experts in environmental investigations, the text provides detailed information on chemical "fingerprinting" techniques applicable
to ground water, soils, sediments, and air, plus an in-depth look at petroleum hydrocarbons.
It gives the environmental scientist,
engineer, and legal specialist a complete toolbox for conducting forensic investigations. It demonstrates the range of scientific analyses
that are available to answer questions of environmental liability and support a legal argument, and provides several examples and case
studies to illustrate how these methods are applied.
This is a textbook that would prove useful to a range of disciplines, including
environmental scientists involved in water and air pollution, contaminated land and geographical information systems; and archaeologists,
hydrochemists and geochemists interested in dating sources of pollution.
Audience
Environmental consultants and engineers, environmental attorneys, technical specialists who monitor environmental pollution and contamination, and upper-division students in related areas.
